The Swedish Testbed for Innovative Radiotherapy

The Swedish Testbed for Innovative Radiotherapy is a highly specialized testbed for innovative radiotherapy and quality assurance. It is also a platform for collaboration between healthcare providers and industry.

We envision a creative interface between the university hospitals and medical technology companies.

The testbed is used for developing products, services and organisational solutions that are needed – and demanded – in the healthcare sector. Companies test their innovations in relevant environments and can shorten their development process.
